Hi friend! Last week I aired an episode with my friend Dondra Fite as she shared her God story of how God is still in the business of God sized miracles! Listen one episode back here.
Today’s episode is with my friend, Jodi Sappe. Jodi shares her story of struggle as she saw her husband battle a drug addiction over the span of 10 years. You will hear the theme of how God was enough throughout our conversation.
SHOW NOTES:
Quotes from the episode:
“It’s still our truth regardless of whether we share it or not”
“Walking and standing in what my current truth was super powerful for me.”
“Anytime you are doing Kingdom work opposition is expected.”
“Just as he had developed a deep love for men who were addicts, I had such a love for families, for the wives, and the moms and the siblings who were walking through this.”
“God didn’t take us that through that time just to save our little family and keep it ourselves, but he wants us to share what he’s done with other people and give them hope.”
Advice for walking through addiction with a loved one:
1)Seek wise counsel
2) Get resources: Al Anon, Celebrate Recovery
3) Pray
“Anytime you are doing Kingdom work opposition is expected”
